What does it mean to have a good heart according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

In the Bible, having a good heart means having a heart transformed by God that is honest, understanding, and receptive to His Word.

A good heart, as referenced in Luke 8:15, is one that is honest and good, given by God during the new birth. This heart reflects a deep understanding of one’s sinfulness and the need for Christ’s redemptive work. Unlike the deceitful heart mentioned in Jeremiah 17:9, a good heart recognizes the holiness of God and the necessity of grace. It embraces the truth of the gospel, holds fast to God's Word, and bears fruit in accordance with the Holy Spirit. Essentially, a good heart is indicative of a true believer whose life is marked by a desire to glorify God and serve others in love, as seen through the evidence of spiritual fruit.
